Having just dropped from 11 just means it's at the high end of 10, and the edge of dropping to 9 means it's at the low end of 10, but it's still all one range...dhanson865 said:But the Leaf spy can be worth a 2 bar swing. You could have two possible leafs both side by side with 10 bars showing. Leaf A could be on the edge of dropping to 9 bars and Leaf B could have just dropped from 11 bars. The end result leaf B could have as much as 12% more capacity with the same bars showing.
yeah, I mispoke, Make that ~7% swing in battery capacity possible if they both have 10 bars showing. The bigger swing scenario is:
If Car A has 9 bars and may have just fell from 10, and Car B has 11 bars and may be about to fall to 10 it looks like a 12.5% difference but may be as little as ~6% or as big as ~19%. Not having the leafspy can having you guessing about a pretty big range when comparing two cars with gauge accuracy of 6.25% bands.
